Cycle Fit For extra enjoyment, this class is based on the work-to-rest ratios of some of your favourite cycling events, such as the Tour de France. But you don’t have to be a world-class cyclist – this is suitable for all abilities and ages. Come and ride the route in our world-class spin studio, at your own pace. You’ll improve your cardio strength, build muscle definition and burn calories.
